Day Four. 0
The Cruise Ship has drifted far from land, and I thought it was time to start taking some beautiful photos. 0
I sent Chen Wei to explore the activities on the Cruise Ship while I began searching for a pretty girl who resembled my best friend. 0
After searching two floors, I finally spotted a girl in a light yellow dress on the top deck of the Cruise Ship, painting under the sunlight. 0
Sunshine, sea, and a beautiful girl. 0
Isn't this exactly the photo I need? 0
Excitedly rubbing my hands together, I approached her and said, "Beautiful lady, your painting is so lovely." 0
The girl turned and smiled at me, "Thank you, but my painting isn't finished yet." 0
I boldly asked, "Could you help me take a photo? My boyfriend isn't good at photography." 0
She thought for a moment and replied, "Sure, I can help you take a photo, but in exchange, can I take a photo with you?" 0
My eyes lit up: "Great! So you're also good at photography?" 0
She nodded, "Yes, besides painting, I'm also skilled in photography. We can be photo partners." 0
 
She had a face strikingly similar to my best friend, Xiao Zhang. 0
Her skin was fair, her nose was high and elegant, and her lips were beautifully red. 0
Her expressive eyes sparkled with life. 0
In less than five minutes, we established a deep friendship. 0
I learned that her name is Xiao Zhang as well and that she came to the Cruise Ship alone. 0
Xiao Zhang looked delighted: "Recently, I received a package containing a ticket for the Cruise Ship worth over 400,000 RMB. I'm so lucky!" 0
I couldn't help but twitch my lips, unsure of what to say. 0
I raised my phone and captured a shot of Xiao Zhang painting. 0
I leaned in to look at her canvas. 0
She was painting an endless sea, vast and boundless, with a profound sense of artistry. 0
 
 
I praised, "You draw really well." 0
 
Xiao Zhang felt a bit shy from my compliment and replied, "Actually, I studied photography before, but for certain reasons, I switched careers to become an artist." 0
 
I blinked and asked, "Could you take a photo of me?" 0
 
Xiao Zhang readily agreed. 0
 
I have to say, professionals are indeed different. The photos she took were much better than the ones I had taken before. 0
 
I happily sent the photo to Yang Rui with a note: "Cheng Ge, this is a picture of me and my best friend." 0
 
Yang Rui quickly replied, "Yuan Yuan, have fun!" 0
 
After that day, Xiao Zhang and I were almost inseparable. We had breakfast together, took photos together, and enjoyed various activities on the Cruise Ship. 0
 
In less than three days, we became best friends who shared everything. 0
 
I secretly told her, "My boyfriend isn't very good in that aspect." 0
 
Xiao Zhang leaned closer to my ear and shared, "My first love wasn't great either, but he was quite gentle." 0
 
We exchanged smiles, and everything was understood without words. 0
 
Just as we were enjoying our conversation, the Cruise Ship suddenly made a loud noise. 0
 
Xiao Zhang and I exchanged glances and looked towards the source of the sound. 0
 
Not far away, an old man had fallen to the ground, his wheelchair overturned beside him. He struggled to crawl back to his wheelchair but failed after several attempts. 0
 
A crowd had gathered around him, all watching the scene unfold. 0
 
I pulled Xiao Zhang into the crowd, wanting to help the old man up. 0
 
I reached out my hand, but before I could touch him, he forcefully swatted it away and angrily shouted, "Get lost!" 0
 
 
Xiao Zhang also came over to help. Just as he placed his hand on the old man's shoulder, he was violently pushed away by the old man, who shouted, "Get lost, don't touch me!" I had never seen someone with such a bad temper. 0
 
Both Xiao Zhang and I were a bit stunned. At that moment, a young and handsome man rushed over, helped the old man up, and pushed him away to a distance. He turned around and politely apologized to us, saying, "Sorry, my uncle has a bad temper. Did he scare you?" 0
 
The man was tall and handsome, dressed in a well-tailored suit, and spoke very courteously. I couldn't help but blush and replied, "It's... it's okay." 0
 
Xiao Ma took out two cards from his pocket and handed them to us, saying, "This is for you as my apology." I looked at the card and was surprised to find it was a shopping card for SKP in Sanlitun, worth thirty thousand yuan. 0
 
I quietly elbowed Xiao Zhang and whispered, "Wow, thirty thousand! We hit the jackpot." Xiao Zhang asked me softly, "Should we accept it?" I nodded, "Why not accept it?" I tucked the card into my pocket and smiled sweetly at Xiao Ma, saying, "Thank you!" 0
 
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang also put away the card and thanked Xiao Ma. Xiao Ma smiled slightly and said, "I should be the one thanking you; my uncle's temper is quite bad. Did he scare you?" 0
 
I shook my head and asked, "Is your uncle in a bad mood?" Xiao Ma sighed and replied, "My uncle had an accident before and became disabled, so..." 0
 
Xiao Zhang covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Ah, that's so sad." Xiao Ma glanced at his uncle in the distance and quietly explained, "He is a designer for Cruise Ship. Ever since he became disabled, his temper has become very irritable; he always feels like others pity him." 0
 
Both Xiao Zhang and I were astonished. It was hard for us to connect the rude old man we just encountered with a well-known designer. 0
 
Xiao Ma apologized to us again: "I'm really sorry. It took me a lot of effort to persuade him to come out and have fun; I didn't expect..." I waved my hand dismissively and said, "It's okay; your uncle is so pitiful; we can understand." 0
 
 
Xiao Zhang also agreed, "Yeah, yeah, you're so filial, your uncle will definitely be very touched." 0
Xiao Ma smiled and said, "Then I'll go take care of my uncle first." 0
I watched Xiao Ma's departing figure, revealing a confident smile. 0
